Let 'Em Drink Kool-Aid!

If you have any doubts PETA cares about animals to the detriment of humans -- including newborns -- let me erase them now.

PETA is urging Ben And Jerry's to use human breast milk instead of cow's milk in their ice cream. I kid you not.

As WNBC-TV reports:
"The fact that human adults consume huge quantities of dairy products made from milk that was meant for a baby cow just doesn't make sense," says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. "Everyone knows that 'the breast is best,' so Ben & Jerry's could do consumers and cows a big favor by making the switch to breast milk."
I love B&J's short and sensible reply:
In a statement Ben and Jerry's said, "We applaud PETA's novel approach to bringing attention to an issue, but we believe a mother's milk is best used for her child."

It's not the only area where PETA has gone off the edge of a map... They also are actively supporting "in-vitro" meat; that is a meat blob grown from stem cells in a laboratory, rather than real meat cut from an animal:
